Overview

From The Museum of Power along field boundaries and tracks the walk reaches St Peter's Church, Great Totham for coffee break and with time to see the flower festival - this year on the theme of hobbies. The walk continues to Great Braxted for lunch. A table has been booked at the Braxted Bakery.

After lunch the walk follows the River Blackwater through Benton Hall golf course to Wickham Place and then along the disused railway line to return to Langford.

Please note earlier start time to allow time at the flower festival.
